Transgenic plastids offer unique advantages in plant biotechnology, including high-level foreign protein expression. However,
broad application of plastid genome engineering in biotechnology has been largely hampered by the lack of plastid transformation
systems for major crops. Here we describe the development of a plastid transformation system for lettuce, Lactuca sativa L. cv. Cisco. The transforming DNA carries a spectinomycin-resistance gene (aadA) under the control of lettuce chloroplast regulatory expression elements, flanked by two adjacent lettuce plastid genome
sequences allowing its targeted insertion between the rbcL and accD genes. On average, we obtained 1 transplastomic lettuce plant per bombardment. We show that lettuce leaf chloroplasts can
express transgene-encoded GFP to ~36% of the total soluble protein. All transplastomic T0 plants were fertile and the T1 progeny
uniformly showed stability of the transgene in the chloroplast genome. This system will open up new possibilities for the
efficient production of edible vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and antibodies in plants. 相似文献

Selectable marker recycling in the chloroplast 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

The bacterial geneaadA is an important and widely used selectable marker for manipulation of the chloroplast genome through biolistic transformation. Because no other such marker is available, two strategies for recycling of theaadA cassette have been developed. One utilizes homologous recombination between two direct repeats flanking theaadA cassette to allow its loss under non-selective growth conditions. A second strategy is to perform co-transformation with a plasmid containing a modified, non-essential chloroplast gene and another plasmid in which theaadA cassette disrupts a chloroplast gene known to be essential for survival. Under selective growth conditions the first mutation can be transferred to all chloroplast DNA copies whereas theaadA insertion remains heteroplasmic. Loss of the selectable marker can be achieved subsequently by growing the cells on non-selective media. In both cases it is possible to reuse theaadA cassette for the stepwise disruption or mutagenesis of any gene in the same strain. 相似文献

Initiation of translation in Escherichia coli and related eubacteria involves well-defined interactions between a conserved Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence immediately upstream
of the initiation codon in the mRNA leader and an equally conserved anti-SD sequence at the 3′ end of the 16S rRNA. SD-like
sequences found in the leaders of many, but not all, mRNAs from cyanobacteria and chloroplasts are hypervariable in location,
size, and base composition compared to those in E. coli, while anti-SD sequences in the respective 16S rRNAs remain highly conserved. We have examined the function of the SD-like
sequences found in the leaders of four chloroplast genes of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using replacement mutagenesis to eliminate complementarity with the anti-SD sequences and insertion of canonical SD sequences
(GGAGG) at positions −9 to −5 relative to the initiation codon. Promoter-leader regions of the atpB, atpE, rps4, and rps7 genes representing the diversity of chloroplast SD-like sequences were fused to aadA and uidA reporter genes encoding spectinomycin resistance and GUS activity respectively. Analysis of chloroplast transformants of
C. reinhardtii and transformants of E. coli carrying the wild-type and mutant reporter constructs revealed that mutagenic replacement of the putative SD sequences had
no effect on the expression of either the aadA or uidA reporter genes. Chloroplast transformants with the canonical SD sequence also showed no differences in reporter gene expression,
whereas expression of the reporter genes was increased by 10 to 30% in the E. coli transformants. Collectively our results suggest that even though SD-dependent initiation predominates in E. coli, this bacterium also has the capacity to initiate translation by an SD-independent mechanism. In contrast, plant chloroplasts,
and very probably their cyanobacterial ancestors, appear to have adopted the SD-independent mechanism for translational initiation
of most mRNAs.

We developed a novel system for gene activation in plastids that uses the CRE/loxP site-specific recombination system to create a translatable reading frame by excision of a blocking sequence. To test the
system, we introduced an inactive gfp* gene into the tobacco plastid genome downstream of the selectable spectinomcyin resistance (aadA) marker gene. The aadA gene is the blocking sequence, and is flanked by directly oriented loxP sites for excision by the CRE. In the non-activated state, gfp* is transcribed from the aadA promoter, but the mRNA is not translated due to the lack of an AUG translation initiation codon. Green Fluorescent Protein
(GFP) expression is activated by excision of the aadA coding segment to link up the gfp* coding region with the translation initiation codon of aadA. Tobacco plants that carry the inactive gfp* gene do not contain detectable levels of GFP. However, activation of gfp* resulted in GFP accumulation, proving the utility of CRE-induced protein expression in tobacco chloroplasts. The gene activation
system described here will be useful to probe plastid gene function and for the production of recombinant proteins in chloroplasts. 相似文献

The chloroplast genome ofChlamydomonas reinhardtii has been transformed with a chimeric gene consisting of the chloroplastatpA promoter and the bacterial gene for aminoglycoside adenine transferase (aadA). TheatpA-aadA cassette has been placed within the chloroplast DNAEcoRI restriction enzyme fragment 14, or within the chloroplastBamH1 fragment 10. The chimeric constructs were introduced into the chloroplast by particle bombardment. Integration of the cassette into chloroplast DNA then occurred via homologous recombination of sequences flanking the cassette with their corresponding chloroplast sequences. We demonstrate that the chloroplastatpA promoter inatpA-aadA routinely recombines with its endogenous counterpart, resulting in heteroplasmic chloroplast DNA populations that may persist for many generations. The heterologous gene does not require a 3 inverted repeat sequence for its expression. TheatpA-aadA gene copy number, which is dictated here by its position in the chloroplast genome, is proportional to the steady state level ofatpA-aadA mRNA. However, neither genomic position, gene copy number, or mRNA level have a significant effect on cellular resistance to spectinomycin, nor activity of theaadA gene productin vitro. These results suggest that, in the case ofaadA, the limiting step for expression of this gene is at the translational or post-translational level. TheatpA-aadA cassette should prove a useful model for future studies on the maintenance and expression of heterologous genes inC. reinhardtii chloroplasts. 相似文献

Chloroplast Transformation in Oilseed Rape 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
The chloroplast transformation vector pNRAB carries two expression cassettes for the spectinomycin resistance gene aadA and the insect resistance gene cry1Aa10. The two cassettes are sited between the rps7 and ndhB targeting fragments. Biolistic delivery of the vector DNA, followed by spectinomycin selection, yielded chloroplast transformants at a frequency of four in 1000 bombarded cotyledon petioles. PCR analysis and Southern blot of PCR products confirmed the site-specific integration of aadA and cry1Aa10 into the chloroplast genomes of transgenic oilseed rape. When transgenic oilseed rape leaves were fed to second instar Plutella xylostera larvae, 47% mortality was observed against this insect and the surviving larvae had significantly lower weight than the control. This is the first report of chloroplast transformation in oilseed rape and the introduction of novel genes between the rps7 and ndhB genes in the chloroplast genome. This offers an opportunity for improvement of oilseed rape by chloroplast genetic engineering. 相似文献

Reverse genetics approaches have contributed enormously to the elucidation of gene functions in plastid genomes and the determination of structure–function relationships in chloroplast multiprotein complexes. Gene knock‐outs are usually performed by disrupting the reading frame of interest with a selectable marker cassette. Site‐directed mutagenesis is done by placing the marker into the adjacent intergenic spacer and relying on co‐integration of the desired mutation by homologous recombination. These strategies are not applicable to genes residing in large multigene operons or other gene‐dense genomic regions, because insertion of the marker cassette into an operon‐internal gene or into the nearest intergenic spacer is likely to interfere with expression of adjacent genes in the operon or disrupt cis‐elements for the expression of neighboring genes and operons. Here we have explored the possibility of using a co‐transformation strategy to mutate a small gene of unknown function (psbN) that is embedded in a complex multigene operon. Although inactivation of psbN resulted in strong impairment of photosynthesis, homoplasmic knock‐out lines were readily recovered by co‐transformation with a selectable marker integrating >38 kb away from the targeted psbN. Our results suggest co‐transformation as a suitable strategy for the functional analysis of plastid genes and operons, which allows the recovery of unselected homoplasmic mutants even if the introduced mutations entail a significant selective disadvantage. Moreover, our data provide evidence for involvement of the psbN gene product in the biogenesis of both photosystem I and photosystem II. We therefore propose to rename the gene product ‘photosystem biogenesis factor 1′ and the gene pbf1. 相似文献

The stability of a plastid transgene has been evaluated in soybean transformants over six generations. These transformants
had integrated the aadA selection cassette in the intergenic region between the rps12/7 and trnV genes. Three independent homoplasmic T0 transformation events were selected and ten plants from each event propagated to
generation T5 in the absence of selection pressure. No transgene rearrangement nor wild-type plastome were detected in generation
T5 by Southern blot analysis. All tested progenies were uniformly resistant to spectinomycin. Therefore, soybean transformants
of generations T0 and T5 appear to be genetically and phenotypically identical. 相似文献
